Solutions and benefits
Companies need sophisticated information integration capabilities to view and
analyze multiple aspects of their business. Replication provides the ability to
share the same data among multiple locations or multiple business functions.
Data replication can consistently deliver the right data, to the right people, at the
right time allowing them to improve decision making, increase online throughput,
improve data availability, and reduce application costs.
Data replication has proven value in these key application areas:
Information integration
Business intelligence (BI)
on demand business
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
Mobile computing
These areas are all characterized by the need to share access to data in a
distributed computing environment. In addition to one-for-one copying of data
from source to target, replication allows customers to combine data from multiple
sources into a single target location for easy access or analysis.
